RootsTech 2013

"RootsTech 2013 has come and gone ... and the great take away? What will our grandchildren and great grandchildren wish we would've done. Can we anticipate what will tie them to their heritage? It is the stories; the stories in their family tree. Family history moves beyond the names and dates associated with genealogy. Your story, even though you may think it is mundane, is an important legacy for the future generations in your family tree. What are you doing to find, organize, preserve, and share the stories in your family that will become the heritage for your posterity?"Liz MillerThanks Liz for letting me share your feelings about RootsTech, which perfectly sum up my feelings. In addition to Liz, my friend, Renee Zamora, made these observations. What a great time to be involved in family history!The Grove Creek Family History Center is starting to hop more and more. With classes on both Tuesday and Thursday nights, there are plenty of ways to get involved. "What will our great-great-grandchildren wish we would have done?They will wish that we had recorded the richness and fabric of our lives."Dennis Brimhall, CEO of FamilySearch
